"Can a place selling kosher pizza, Turkish-style burek, and avocado wraps also make some of upper Manhattan’s best bagels? Bagels & Co. says yes. The Upper West Side shop (with another UES location) looks and smells like a neighborhood pizza parlor, with stained glass Tiffany lamps hanging over the counter, and the smells of garlic and tomato hanging in the air. Their chewy, lightly burnished bagels are excellent, with holes that vanish like deep belly buttons. There are also flagels, if that’s your thing, as well as tables inside and on the sidewalk.
